Ovimbundu
The Ovimbundu (aka 'Mbundu' or 'Umbundu') are a large ethnic group of traders, farmers and herders who live on the Benguela Plateau of central Angola, Africa. They speak both Portuguese and the Bantu Umbundu language, and presently make up around 40 percent of Angola's population. Many are Christians. Many Ovimbundu were members of UNITA, and their two main cities of Huambo and Kuito were completely destroyed in the bloody civil war of 1992-1994.
